‘More backward class’ will now get 5% reservation in state’s judicial services

The Rajasthan government had accepted a long-standing demand of backward communities to increase the reservation in the state’s judicial services from one percent to five percent.

The government has amended the Rajasthan Judicial Service Rules, 2010, through the state cabinet on the initiative by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to provide five percent reservation in place of one percent, an official statement said. 

The more backward classes include Gurjars, Raika-Rabari, Gadiya-Lohars, Banjara and Gadariya.
